INP is a relatively new metric, so the suggested thresholds from Google are subject to change. What is a 'good' INP number? What can affect INP?

In this post, I’ll lay out five foundational service level objective examples that every DevOps and SRE team should consider. Five example SLOs for faster, more reliable apps 1.

LCP, or Largest Contentful Paint , is one of the three Core Web Vitals that you must “pass” to get the full search ranking boost from Google as part of their Page Experience Update. From an SEO perspective, it doesn’t really matter what other tools tell you, GSC is what Google Search sees. The issue was that LCP was too slow on mobile.
